Which point guard tied a record by committing 14 turnovers in a single game? The answer is Jason Kidd.
Jason Kidd recorded 14 turnovers in an NBA game on November 17, 2000, matching the league’s single-game individual record. Turnovers are charged when a player loses possession through actions such as a bad pass, traveling violation, offensive foul, or having the ball stolen.
The mark is especially notable because Kidd was one of basketball’s premier point guards and passers. He led the NBA in assists several times, orchestrated fast-break offenses, and finished his career as one of the league’s all-time assist leaders. Point guards handle the ball constantly, so elite playmakers can accumulate turnovers while creating large numbers of scoring chances.
This record concerns an individual player’s turnovers, not the total turnovers committed by a team. It also does not mean Kidd had a poor overall career: he was a 10-time All-Star, an Olympic gold medalist, and helped the Dallas Mavericks win the 2011 NBA championship.
